Let’s wait out the next couple of months, but I am almost convinced that at this point a billionare can shoot 10 random people in the head in Time Square with 100 cameras pointed at him, and the victims families are the ones that are going to end up in jail.

Poland? Germany?

I’ve been living that lifestyle for the past *checks notes* all my life. I’ll give them about 2 years before they want to off themselves.

The rarest Pepe of them all.

I love the French saying “C’est la vie”.

Shuts down a lot of people nagging.

Thats a good one, also along the lines “In our dogs eyes we are the immortal elves.”

“Be like squirrel, girl, be like squirrel.”

The Expanse has so many memorable quotes.

• “You’re not that guy. I am that GUY.”
  - Amos
• “What is it you’re think you’re doing?” “WHATEVER I GOD DAMN LIKE.”
  - Avaserala answering to the council
• “You look like shit.” “You look amazing.”
  - Avaserala and Amos on Luna
• “I’m just gonna take my pet nuke for a walk.”
  - Miller on Ceres Station

“I’m a leaf in the wind.”

Said by Wash the pilot in the movie Serenity. I tend to whisper that to myself when things aren’t going my way and I need a reminder to just go with the flow.

Another one came to mind.

“Because he’s my man.”

From the series Legion on FX. The main female lead Sydney wanted to safe her boyfriend and others doubted her on her reasoning, since her boyfriend turned out to be a shady guy. When questioned “Why?” She gave that answer. I’ve never heard a female character be this positively possessive over her love interest before. Usually its the guy that saves the girl.

The only correct answer.

With women, bathroom talk. With the boys we always talk about shit and piss and crack each other up. But mention anything related to that around a girl, she’ll look at you as if you killed her dog.

The reason is simple, in the time of motion picture, videogames, and music, why would somebody decide to stare at bland black text on white paper for 3 hours a day?

Reading is by far the least approachable, most time consuming and least rewarding for of self entertainment. Books where the most popular because their distribution was the easiest and the cheapest. Now distribution of digital media including movies, music and videogames has become trivial.

Books are also the easiest to create (in relative terms), meaning for every GOOD book there are 1000s of really bad ones, and it’s not readily apparent which one is which. Where as for every really good movie there are many only 10 mediocre ones.

What the article describes as “better mental health” regarding to children reading, is usually a product of the abstraction that book inherently posses. Since all you can go off when reading a novel is your own imagination and maybe some official artwork, books have the least reinforcement of social standards.

Text is a very reliable way to relais information, but when it comes to telling a story, the more senses you can captivate the more alive a story will feel. Books don’t appeal to your eyes and ears but movies do.

You don’t need immortality for that. Only a bad decade in your 20’.

Wow you’re a real smart one, nobody has ever thought about that. Read the Question in the title again.

Making you bed in the morning. Takes literally 5 seconds, makes the room look more neat and can be used as a place to put all the unfolded laundry from your chair.

It’s mind boggling how many times the world came together in the past for total nuclear disarmament and every single time when we almost reached an agreement Russia backed out because they thought it’s all a ruse against them. The are the epitome of the “No, it’s the others that must be wrong.” Meme.

A shortage of unskilled labor is almost unheard of, especially on a large scale. Local businesses having trouble to stock their shelves is a sign of a failing business rather than a unskilled worker shortage.

No, no, no. There are enough people, just not enough people who can go through 3 years of shit apprenticeship pay to become a worker. Once upon a time you could maybe get by with an trainee salary, then people had to be supported by their parents, then they had to either be in a romantic relationship or live in dorms to share an apartment, in addition to their parents support. Now, even that isn’t enough anymore.

You’d be surprised how often people between 25 and 35 use Spongebob references.
